Abstract

Are We Ready for 4G?

Wireless networks can benefit by being viewed as community infrastructure similar to water, power and street networks.

Visualization tools in desktop GIS can offset the tendency to regulate wireless sites by how they look, rather than by how they work.

Even as LiDar returns refine topography, the regulatory landscape for wireless can emerge by layering signal propagation with zoning standards for bulk, height and set back. These findings are supported by replicable GIS analysis.
